    The Weasley family is presented as having a handful of the silver coins and exactly 1 gold coin. Rowling has stated Harry had a net worth of 319,995 gold coins.

    goddamn, that's some peak joke-ass-rowling neolib shit

    if you assume a middle class US family has $100k in net worth (might be optimistic) that's like me inheriting $30 billion and not giving any to even my best friend

    harry potter is really a dumb book

      Actually last night I was considering the most neolib thing are the types of jobs wizards have. It's a society where they can fly and conjure things from thin air. Yet the main occupations they have are: teacher, magic cop, and small business owner (whole lot of these). Why do the wizards even need money?

      Also the main political division among wizards is if they should actively genocide muggles or just let muggles suffer through inaction.
